This ring's design is inspired by traditional Chinese mortise and tenon structures, combining jewelry design with this ancient technique. The ring features a three-dimensional interlocking structure, with a simple geometric rectangular form as its core, creating a distinctive shape. This design highlights the beauty of traditional craftsmanship while incorporating a modern twist, endowing the ring with a distinctive character.

The ring features a minimalist rectangular structure as its main design element, characterized by smooth lines and an elegant shape. The set gemstones sparkle brilliantly and blend seamlessly with the metal, showcasing the simplicity of modern design while retaining the refinement and craftsmanship of traditional techniques. In addition, the ring's use of three different forms of gemstones, interspersed with diamonds, adds a touch of luxury and mystery to the overall design. The combination of sapphire and 18K white gold further accentuates a sense of elegance and luxury.

The uniqueness of this ring lies in its sliding design, inspired by traditional mortise and tenon joints. Through a rail structure, the ring can be flexibly transformed, expanding into a double ring or merging into a single ring, offering versatile forms. This design is both practical and adds an element of fun, seamlessly combining the essence of traditional craftsmanship with modern design. The open-ended design of the ring makes it easy to wear and adaptable to different finger sizes, ensuring comfort while adding a touch of elegance and style to its appearance.

The dovetail ring is crafted using eco-friendly materials and lab-grown gemstones, achieving cost savings while upholding green practices. The design cleverly incorporates traditional Chinese mortise and tenon craftsmanship, transforming the structural technique into a decorative element. This approach not only makes the jewelry a brilliant ambassador of Chinese culture but also perfectly embodies the harmonious integration of traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.
